To have realised that in our house

[MoreBushThanMoss]

... We have now totally replaced the word "fart" with "doing a Donald" (Trump)

It started as a (shit) joke, but now we find ourselves saying "has the baby just done a Donald?! Or was it the dog?" And "DP will you please not drop Donalds just before people are coming round?"

Of course I never do a Donald

AIBU to hope this catches on, as a subversive way to express discomfort with the election of the new Pres across the pond?

[Mulberry72]

We say the same in our house!

My American niece thinks it's hilarious that the new President is named after an unpleasant bodily function!

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

It's not totally accurate.
Most of Donald's hot air comes from his mouth not his bum

[DeleteOrDecay]

That's amazing I'm totally stealing this.

[Slightlyperturbedowlagain]

We do this too. My DS started it last year. I can't say that it honestly makes me feel any better about it but it makes the DCs split their sides

[TopBitchoftheWitches]

Myself and dp have done this as well.

It's always more amusing when I have done a Donald, for some reason

[AristotlesTrousers]

I'm definitely going to start doing this.

[harderandharder2breathe]

Brilliant!

[CigarsofthePharoahs]

I think I will start doing this now.
I might even say "It wasn't me, it was Donald!"

[ZippyNeedsFeeding]

My husband is called Donald, so I don't think it would work in our house. He already gets grumbly and Trump calling himself The Donald and we are reminded often that he isn't THE donald, just A Donald and not the best one at that.

[ZippyNeedsFeeding]

Sorry, should say grumbly about...

[Slightlyperturbedowlagain]

zippy

[Bushymuffmum]

So sick of everyone saying 'the donald' - where did it even come from? I blame John snow!

[Letustryagain]

Well I'm not sure where you are OP but we're in South Devon and my DD has started saying it (7yo) and all her class do. Let's spread the word!!!

[Bushymuffmum]

And I think anyone who refuses to own up to doing the fart should be told they're 'doing a clinton'

[Hushabyelullaby]

yup, we say this too!

[Hushabyelullaby]

(and my 9 yr old does), we're iin N Wales

[anonymousbird]

Chris Evans was using this on his show this morning! DD and I did have to laugh!

[HerOtherHalf]

I think that is incredibly unfair to farts, they're not that offensive they should be compared to him.

[MoreBushThanMoss]

This is EXCELLENT . We split our time between London and Yorkshire... So that's two counties covered... tryagain has Devon, hush and her boy are spreading Donalds around N Wales... Can anyone else help make this "the thing"??

[MoreBushThanMoss]

anonymous - he's stealing my material??

I'm calling points of view

[stuckinny]

This is brilliant. I'm going to see if I can get my son to start it.

[SasBel]

Sister announced (via whatsapp nach) that DN had done a trump in trumpington! Classy family I have

[starsorwater]

Same, only they seem to be turning into Donalds.

[enfru]

We say it too! It was our 9 year old DS who started it, apparently everyone at school says it.
